Lookin’ for a budget plastic cutting board to gift to my aunt. I also grabbed her a Takamura Chromax santoku. Any suggestions?
Does it have to be plastic? How cheap are you looking for?
Even plastic can be heavy, especially if its the durable kind. I'd check those discount stores like Ross or TJ Maxx. Should be able to find a hard 11x17 or so for around $10. I actually keep a few around the house cuz they're convenient.Yah mostly because I know if I get something wooden, it won’t be maintained, plus it might be heavy.
Something sub 50
Note that the OXO ones have a groove around the perimeter. If (like me) that is something you don't like, it might be better to look for something else.The oxo good grips are decent and have rubber feet so they don't slide around a ton
I've gifted these before and because most people don't/can't be bothered to secure their cutting boards they love them. I don't dig the juice groove either but having built in anti-slip is huge for your average home cookNote that the OXO ones have a groove around the perimeter. If (like me) that is something you don't like, it might be better to look for something else.
I use plain HDPE cutting boards for things like meat and fish. To stop them from sliding, I put a piece of anti-slip mat underneath. Both are cheap and effective.
I agree. A cutting board that doesn't slide around is great. But, for me, the juice groove is enough of a deterrent to put up with the anti-slip mat.I don't dig the juice groove either but having built in anti-slip is huge for your average home cook
If wood is ok, I like these hinoki boards. they are light for wood boards, resistant, easy on edges and smell amazing (which is a plus since it’s a gift). I have the small and large versions, going strong for 5+ years. easy to refinish with a scraper or hand plane.Does it have to be plastic? How cheap are you looking for?
Yah got me, yeah this is for my “afternoon auntie”Sorry everyone, but @tostadas won this thread. Particularly if you get them to custom inscribe something like:
Have you noticed she’s always hanging around with handsome young men and calling them “nephew”
That one won’t go in the dishwasher.
Both sides of the OXO can be used. There are rubber feet for both sides. The back doesn’t have the groove.Note that the OXO ones have a groove around the perimeter. If (like me) that is something you don't like, it might be better to look for something else.

Ah, I didn’t know that. All good then!Both sides of the OXO can be used. There are rubber feet for both sides. The back doesn’t have the groove.
What do you consider ‘budget.’ I like Sani-Tuff for cheap synth cutting board.Lookin’ for a budget plastic cutting board to gift to my aunt. I also grabbed her a Takamura Chromax santoku. Any suggestions?
